申命记 26
1 “你进去得了耶和华—你 神所赐你为业之地居住，
And it shall be, when thou have come in to the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell in it,
2 就要从耶和华—你 神赐你的地上将所收的各种初熟的土产取些来，盛在筐子里，往耶和华—你 神所选择要立为他名的居所去，
that thou shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shall bring in from thy land that Jehovah thy God gives thee, and thou shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
3 见当时作祭司的，对他说：‘我今日向耶和华—你 神明认，我已来到耶和华向我们列祖起誓应许赐给我们的地。’
And thou shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to Jehovah thy God, that I have come to the land which Jehovah swore to our fathers to give us.
4 祭司就从你手里取过筐子来，放在耶和华—你 神的坛前。
And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God.
5 你要在耶和华—你 神面前说：‘我祖原是一个将亡的亚兰人，下到埃及寄居。他人口稀少，在那里却成了又大又强、人数很多的国民。
And thou shall answer and say before Jehovah thy God, My father was a Syrian ready to perish, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number. And he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
6 埃及人恶待我们，苦害我们，将苦工加在我们身上。
And the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage.
7 于是我们哀求耶和华—我们列祖的 神，耶和华听见我们的声音，看见我们所受的困苦、劳碌、欺压，
And we cried to Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression.
8 他就用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂，并大可畏的事与神迹奇事，领我们出了埃及，
And Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders.
9 将我们领进这地方，把这流奶与蜜之地赐给我们。
And he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 耶和华啊，现在我把你所赐给我地上初熟的土产奉了来。’随后你要把筐子放在耶和华—你 神面前，向耶和华—你的 神下拜。
And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which thou, O Jehovah, have given me. And thou shall set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God.
11 你和利未人，并在你们中间寄居的，要因耶和华—你 神所赐你和你家的一切福分欢乐。
And thou shall rejoice in all the good which Jehovah thy God has given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner who is in the midst of thee.
12 “每逢三年，就是十分取一之年，你取完了一切土产的十分之一，要分给利未人和寄居的，与孤儿寡妇，使他们在你城中可以吃得饱足。
When thou have made an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then thou shall give it to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled.
13 你又要在耶和华—你 神面前说：‘我已将圣物从我家里拿出来，给了利未人和寄居的，与孤儿寡妇，是照你所吩咐我的一切命令。你的命令我都没有违背，也没有忘记。
And thou shall say before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
14 我守丧的时候，没有吃这圣物；不洁净的时候，也没有拿出来，又没有为死人送去。我听从了耶和华—我 神的话，都照你所吩咐的行了。
I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I put away from it, being unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God. I have done according to all that thou have commanded me.
15 求你从天上、你的圣所垂看，赐福给你的百姓以色列与你所赐给我们的地，就是你向我们列祖起誓赐我们流奶与蜜之地。’”
Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the ground which thou have given us, as thou swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
16 “耶和华—你的 神今日吩咐你行这些律例典章，所以你要尽心尽性谨守遵行。
This day Jehovah thy God commands thee to do these statutes and ordinances. Thou shall therefore keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
17 你今日认耶和华为你的 神，应许遵行他的道，谨守他的律例、诫命、典章，听从他的话。
Thou have avouched Jehovah this day to be thy God, and that thou would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken to his voice.
18 耶和华今日照他所应许你的，也认你为他的子民，使你谨守他的一切诫命，
And Jehovah has avouched thee this day to be a people for his own possession, as he has promised thee, and that thou should keep all his commandments,
19 又使你得称赞、美名、尊荣，超乎他所造的万民之上，并照他所应许的使你归耶和华—你 神为圣洁的民。”
and to make thee high above all nations that he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor, and that thou may be a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as he has spoken.
